Chapter 183: Separate Paths

If I remember correctly, she had just eaten half an hour before entering the village.

Su Wanwan shook her head and said, "I'm worried about one thing."

"what's up?"

It was past dinner time, and almost everyone in the village had returned to their homes and dormitories.

After all, when the temperature drops, people will get frozen if they stay outside for too long.

The path was empty at this time.

"Li Meifen..." Su Wanwan didn't know how to start for a moment.

After all, Li Meifen was an educated youth who went to the countryside. She worked and followed the same schedule as the village production team every day. It was impossible that she was not allowed to touch something for no reason, right?

But this village is so small that if Li Meifen wants to know something specifically, it would be very easy.

What's more, can Li Meifen, who already knows about the affairs of Lan Ying and others in Baihua Village, really behave herself after returning to her own village?

"I understand what you mean. You don't have to worry about this matter. Just leave it to me." Xu Yan suddenly replied.

"You...how do you know that?" Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes.

She clearly didn't explain anything...

"The fewer people who know about what we do, the better." Xu Yan answered confidently in the darkness.

"But what can you do?"

Xu Yan was indeed the worm in her stomach!

"Just leave it to me."

"You must not use any bad means... to treat her."

Although she didn't hear anything bad in Xu Yan's tone, Su Wanwan suddenly recalled the face of the young man who raised the sickle that afternoon.

Although Li Meifen's existence greatly interfered with their business, if they used this as an excuse to do something to Li Meifen... Su Wanwan could not accept it.

"When have I ever hurt anyone?" Xu Yan suddenly looked at Su Wanwan with amusement, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

"That's true." Su Wanwan pursed her lips and turned half of her face away, feeling a little guilty: "I'm worried too."

"It's getting late. I guess your mother and the others have been waiting for you for a long time. Go back and see them."

The two of them walked to their respective intersections.

Xu Yan pointed in the direction of the Su family and said, "I guess the village chief will ask you to go back to work at the radio station tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If you have time tomorrow evening, go to the old place."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Indeed, my father saw me come back just now. I guess my mother and the others have already prepared dinner and are waiting for me." When she said this, she could even smell the fragrance of the fried potatoes and meat that Zhao Ying was making.

"What do you have for tomorrow evening?"

On the way back by ox cart, Su Wanwan was drowsy when she saw large tracts of land belonging to their village.

It seems that while they were following the autumn harvest in Baihua Village, their village was also carrying out the autumn harvest at the same time.

On the way back, all the land had been harvested. From now on, Xu Yan and Bai Luwei probably wouldn't have to get up early every day to go to the fields.

"It's nothing, just go if you have time." Xu Yan hesitated to speak, as if he was unsure about something.

"Of course I have time. Even if I go back to work at the radio station tomorrow, I only have one morning to work." Su Wanwan said goodbye to Xu Yan at the fork in the road with a smile, and walked back home quickly.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, the aroma of stewed potatoes and meat instantly caught Su Wanwan's nose.

How could she guess so accurately? When she was talking to Xu Yan just now, this dish was what she was thinking about.

Quickly entering the room, Su Wanwan hurriedly wanted to go to the kitchen, but she saw her mother Zhao Ying quickly walking out of the bedroom door next to her.

"Oh, Wanwan, why did you come back so late? During the day, your father asked the young men from your production team to come home and tell us that you can come back today! Mom has been waiting for you for most of the day!"

Zhao Ying's voice was loud and she directly called out Jiang Shuzhen from the kitchen.

Outside the door, Jiang Panhua, who had just gone to the river to wash clothes for all her family, was walking into the house with a huge basin in her arms when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Yo, I'm back."

As soon as she met her third sister-in-law's slightly provocative gaze, Su Wanwan felt the familiar family atmosphere.

After being on exchange in Baihua Village for half a month, she almost forgot what the atmosphere at home was like.

"Mom, are you cooking potatoes and meat tonight? I smelled the delicious aroma as soon as I walked in the door!"

Ignoring the unpleasant look from her third sister-in-law Jiang Panhua, Su Wanwan quickly put down her backpack and rushed into the kitchen.

But Zhao Ying quickly grabbed her clothes and said, "Wanwan, I just saw all those luggage I prepared for you. You didn't forget to bring them back!"

Su Wanwan smiled helplessly, "Mom, didn't you check how heavy your luggage was before you left?"

Su Wanwan felt a little suffocated when she thought of the weight of the luggage. During the half month she was on exchange in Baihua Village, she had only opened the huge luggage once, and that was just to take out the tape inside.

As for the other "daily necessities" that Zhao Ying packed for her, Su Wanwan never paid any attention to them.

It can be said that how she brought the big bag to Baihua Village was the same way she brought the bag back intact.

"I've carried it before! It was only about 50 to 60 kilograms!" Zhao Ying answered quickly.

This made Su Wanwan speechless again.

"Mom! Do you know what 50 or 60 kilograms weighs? It's more than half of my weight! Your daughter and I don't even have two 50 or 60 kilograms..."

After Su Wanwan said this, Zhao Ying finally responded: "Well... the luggage is a bit heavy, but you can't just throw those things away. There are a lot of good things in it, including the vanishing cream your brother bought for you, and the one your mother brought for you before..."

"No! Mom, after the luggage was unloaded from the ox cart, it was placed over at Dad's office. When Dad came home in the evening, he and a few young men carried it back."

Zhao Ying heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Su Wanwan's answer: "Okay, I'll remember this time. Next time you go out, I won't prepare so much luggage for you."

Following Zhao Ying and her sister-in-law into the kitchen, Su Wanwan saw pork and potatoes stewing in the big pot.

One look at the pork meat that had been stewed till soft and tender, and it seemed that the whole family was indeed waiting for her.

"Aunt is back, aunt is back! It's time to eat!" Outside the kitchen door, Xiao Qinggui jumped up and down, clapping her hands.

"Okay, go wash your hands first and then eat!" Zhao Ying reminded kindly, and then served the rice with Jiang Shuzhen.

Jiang Panhua walked back to the house, put away the laundry basin, stared at everyone's actions for a moment, and suddenly, as if she had made a decision, she twisted her waist and walked out the door.

"Didn't you see that it's time to eat? Where are you going?" asked the third brother Su Di, who was sweeping the yard at the door.

"Can't I go out for a walk before dinner?" Jiang Panhuatou didn't even reply.

"Hurry, hurry, don't worry about others, Wanwan, try this meat. It has been simmered in the pot over low heat for the whole afternoon. It must be delicious!" Zhao Ying said as he placed the largest bowl in front of Su Wanwan and used the largest spoon to fill it with meat. You couldn't even find any potatoes in the meat.
